Tennessee Whiskey

Dean Dillon, Linda Hargrove / George Jones

G C G
I used to spend my nights in a barroom,
D7
Liquor was the only friend I knew.
G C G
But you rescued me from reaching for the bottle
D7 G
And you brought me back from being too far gone.
G C G
You're as smo-oth as Tennessee whiskey,  
D7
You're as sweet as strawberry wine.
G G7 C
You're as warm as a glass of brandy
G D7 G
And I stay stoned on your love all the time.
 
I looked for love in all the wrong places, 
Found the bottom of the bottle always dry. 
But when you poured out your love I didn't waste it, 
'Cause there's nothing like your love to get me high. 
You're as smo-oth as Tennessee whiskey, 
You're as sweet as strawberry wine. 
You're as warm as a glass of brandy 
And I stay stoned on your love all the time.
